I think you may not be understanding the test. The spf record that determines weather or not the messages passes or fails is published by the domain owner and they are saying if they allow mail to be send from what servers. So if a message fails the domain owner is saying it has failed an the user sending the mail is in violation of their mail sending policies.
It is not a fault of the test it is a fault of the person who setup the SPF record for the domain. Basically the SPF test enforces someone elses policies. My results so far have been that all messages that have failed SPF have also faild multiple DNS based tests.
